THE OCEAN

2010-02-21T19:18:00.002-07:00

These pics were taken in Guadalupe, CA at a beach that is part of a preserve.... its fairly remote but gorgeous!!

It was very cold this day and the waves were about 20 feet but it was AWESOME!!!

My grandson loved it even though he was a little scared.... hopefully when we go back in May he will want to play in the water and the sand!!

Sunday Morning.... JT and Peppermint

2010-01-18T07:13:00.002-07:00

this is my adorable grandson, JT. I took him to see my horse and he loved her!! she didnt know what to think but she got used to him and followed him around like a puppy dog!!

peppermint is almost 15 years old and i have had her since she was 7 months old.... she is a sweetheart and loved the attention from JT.
JT loves tractors, trucks and airplanes. this is him standing next to a riding lawnmower..... he called it "my tractor". Of course, the horse ended up being "my horse" but it was a blast having him out with me..... i told him he can ride the horse this summer. This is what life is all about..... FAMILY! JT only has one grama, and thats me, so we try to make the best of it and have fun, too!!!

This beautiful lady is my 92 year old grama. Sadly, she passed away on Oct. 17, 2009. She was a beautiful lady both inside and out and never had a bad word to say about anyone.

She loved her family and always had a hug and kiss for everyone!! whether she knew them or not!
My mom and grama were very close and now they are together again...... my mom passed in Oct. of 2007.

You will be greatly missed grama and will always be loved!!

The Fence

2009-10-10T05:35:00.003-06:00

i have never done a chainlink fence before but it turned out great and looks as good or better than the professionally installed fences!!

here are the pictures of the chainlink fence that me and my awesome nephew,kyle, put up in the yard.

setting the posts was the most dificult part of the job because of digging holes, pouring cement and making sure the posts are straight ind level

you can see the straight line we had to make sure the posts were straight
